Agatha: Used to dislike and thought of it as a harridan's name a few years back. I now see the beauty of it, though it is not a name I can ever see myself using.
Agnes of the other hand...horrible.
Agnes is one of those "blatantly bad" names.
Gisella (prefer this spelling) I really don't care for, just never have. I think of it as "One of those that tries to sound pretty but instead fails and sounds more awkward and clumsy"
The upside that it as "
Ella,
Ellie" to fall back on (:
The "Gis" part makes the name look pretty much revolting.
Maren: Neutral towards, not much to say about it.
Meike: My-e-kuh? I'm clueless on the pronunciation, sorry.
Veronika: LOVE! I prefer the spelling of
Veronica though. It's one of those names that sounds very beautiful and attractive to me. A name I wouldn't mind using for a child :D
Hudson: Used to be a fan but now I just feel very "meh" about it. Neutral towards.
Henry Hudson-The
Hudson river,
Hudson valley all spring to mind
